1. Einführung zu Mixxx
Mixxx allows you to perform live DJ mixes with your digital music collection. It helps you rock the party with DJ controllers, vinyl turntables, or even just your keyboard.
Mixxx wird von professionellen DJs und Hobby-DJs gleichermaßen verwendet. Es wird von einem internationalen Team von Freiwilligen entwickelt, welche die Freude des DJing zu jedermann bringen wollen. Das Projekt ist gemeinnützig, Open-Source und gemeindeorientiert. Gemeinsam und mit Ihrer Hilfe wollen wir die besten DJ-Software aller Zeiten schaffen.

1.3. Systemanforderungen
Mixxx ist verfügbar für Windows, Mac OS X und GNU/Linux. Mixxx wurde entwickelt, um sehr wenige Systemressourcen verwenden, aber das Entwicklungsteam Mixxx schlägt diese Mindestanforderungen vor für eine großartige Erfahrung mit Mixxx:
Eine 2GHz oder schnellere CPU
Mindestens 1GB RAM
A soundcard with 2 stereo audio outputs (4 mono output channels)
Hinweis
The EQs can be disabled to save CPU usage. Using this feature, Mixxx can be used with an external mixer and a less powerful computer such as a netbook.
1.4. Über das Projekt Mixxx
Mixxx is designed by an international team of volunteer DJs who want to bring the joy of DJing to everyone. The project is non-profit, open-source and community driven. Together and with your help we aim to build the best DJ software ever created.
Mixxx started as an open-source project because of demand for DJing software on Linux, and discontent with proprietary DJ software on Windows and Mac OS X. Today, Mixxx development is driven by the simple idea that together we can create a better way to DJ, and that has brought Mixxx to the cutting edge.
Mixxx is the only free cross-platform vinyl control software and has the most advanced MIDI/HID controller support via our innovative JavaScript-based scripting engine. We are continuing to pursue new and exciting features that give DJs more tools to create better live mixes.
1.4.1. Projekthistorie
Mixxx ursprünglich entstand im Jahr 2002 im Rahmen einer Doktorarbeit für neue Schnittstellen für DJing von Tue Haste Andersen. Nach der Veröffentlichung des Projekts als Open-Source, begannen dutzende Mitwirkende zu Mixxx ändern und zu verbessern.
In 2006, a new development team lead by Adam Davison and Albert Santoni began reorganizing the project to ensure smooth growth of both the code-base and the number of contributors. A renewed focus on usability and stability has helped Mixxx grow to become the most popular free DJ software in the world, receiving over 1,000,000 downloads annually. Our committed team has worked hard to create great DJ software, and this growth is a sign of our success.
In 2011, RJ Ryan took over as Lead Developer to successfully continue the team’s endeavor to make Mixxx a world-class DJ software.
Unsere Gemeinschaft wächst, sowohl als auch unser Entwicklungsteam - Über 150 Entwickler, Künstler und Übersetzer haben dazu beigetragen, Mixxx zu schaffen!
1.5. Über das Mixxx-Benutzerhandbuch
Some effort has been made to present the material in a way that is neither too technical nor too dumbed-down. Take some time to look through it and you’ll find lots of hints that will enhance both your enjoyment and your productivity.
Quer durch das Handbuch finden Sie Text wie folgt formatiert:
This is to simplify the business of choosing commands in menus. In this example, the instruction means “Open the Library menu at the top of the application window and then choose the Add new Playlist command”.
Anwenden
This is used to indicate a certain area of the GUI, including button labels, tabs, checkboxes, field names, values in selection lists etc. .
STRG + G
This is used to mark a keystroke, or a sequence of keystrokes. In this example, you would have to hold down the STRG key, then to press G.
